Dow unveils INNATE TF 220 Resin

Dow unveils its latest innovation, the INNATE TF 220 Resin, which is designed for recyclability and high-performance BOPE films for flexible packaging. The company is collaborating with stakeholders across the packaging chain to help develop impactful, scalable solutions that address today’s sustainability challenges.

“Asia Pacific is where material science meets circular ambition. Through breakthrough innovations like INNATE TF 220 resin—redefining the designed for recyclable packaging performance—and strategic partnerships across the value chain, we are accelerating the shift toward packaging circularity,” said Bambang Candra, Commercial Vice President, APAC, Dow Packaging & Speciality Plastics. “This is sustainability in action, helping enable brands to balance performance benefits while scaling mono-material solutions and post-consumer recycled adoption. It’s how Dow turns vision into measurable progress, advancing both our partners’ goals and the circular economy.”

Collaboration with Liby

Working with laundry detergent brand Liby, Dow facilitated the integration of 10% REVOLOOP Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Resin into the packaging of the company’s ‘Floral Era’ detergent series. The pair hope this move reduces carbon emissions while also preserving pack durability.

“As a leading laundry brand in China, Liby is committed to reconsidering plastic packaging and ensuring its circularity,” said Zhang Liping, General Manager of Liby Research and Development Centre. “Our strategic partnership with Dow has led to innovations such as China’s first fully recyclable laundry packaging with Dow’s INNATE TF-BOPE and the new generation ‘Floral Era’ detergent series using Dow’s post-consumer recycled resins. This long-term collaboration enhances the sustainable value of our products and shows our commitment to environmental stewardship and innovation.”
